Rep Power: 0 Messed with radio - now no power to radio, PL
I was working on my car and had to get behind the factory radio the other day. I put everything back together and expected to enter the security codein the radio and everything woudl go back to normal. This wasn't so.
When I turned the key I didn't see "CODE" on the radio. In fact the radio was totally unresponsive, like it was getting no power. I took everything apart and the connectors were installed correctly and tight. I couldn't get the radio to power up.
I also noticed that my power door locks would only work when the ignition is on. I usually hold the driver's door handle and use the PL switch to lock the door. It woudln't work but did work when I put the key to on.
Anyone seen anything like this? Where should I start? Is there another security system that is affecting the radio and PL?

Where is this fuse? What number is it?
I didn't short any wires. What could have caused the fuse to blow?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

I was messing with my radio (aftermarket) and I'm pretty sure I shorted something since now I'm not getting 12V into the radio and my key wont work and dome lights wont turn on while engines off. I will definitely look into that fuse though

I had same/similar issue on 02 Civic... radio, door chime, light chime & door locks were not working. The Back Up fuse(10A) under hood was the culprit.
